After last night, most certainly I wish I took French in highschool so I could be taking French now in college. Just to move out of the USA and to greener pastures like Switzerland. Haven’t heard any bad news about them going fascist yet.

Wait, you mean people play BeamNG for anything other than things like police chases and crashes? /s

According to someone else who replied to my comment, it seems it’s some sort of metadata issue rather than an actual rebrand. I’m just an idiot who doesn’t actually look deep enough into this kinda stuff.

Oh… Well, too late for me. Ended up uninstalling it and replacing it with thunderbird because I thought they were rebranding it to thunderbird beta.

Stumpt

They’re a group of 4 people who play games together, but aren’t the super energetic and annoying type of content creators. You know the type I’m talking about. Plus, Stumpt usually seems to play a lot more indie games or every once in a long while anymore they may go back to m!neceraft for a mod pack.

Not gonna lie, I was super confused why F-Droid was updating thunderbird beta on my device when I was updating apps a few days ago. Took me a while to realize k9 was apparently changed to thunderbird beta.

I remember playing one of the Spy Fox games, the ozone destroying one, sometimes when I would go to speech therapy. It was such a fun game for kid me. Same situation with one of the Pajama Sam games (can’t remember which).

Cannot recall ever playing any jumpstart or magic schoolbus games, though.

As for non-edu games I had as a young kid, I remember having one of the first 2 rollercoaster tycoon games (can’t remember which), a few of the classic “1000 In 1” game discs (pretty sure one might have had a full-on casino game that I used to love) almost everyone seemed to have at least one of, and an I-Spy game (cannot remember which one, but I think it was in a quaint small town on an island).

I’d love to see 沙耶の唄 (Saya no Uta/Song of Saya), a pretty mildly disturbing visual novel, as a short animated couple episode series. I’d love to see how they animate how the main character sees the world with his meat vision.

I don’t think I ever had any type of games that taught teaching. I had games like hooked on phonics type stuff and a Land Before Time math game, among a few others.

Typing was never something formally taught to me, even from a video game. I guess by the 2000s they just didn’t think it was important enough to be taught in elementary school to kids. Yet cursive was deemed something we needed to know.

The only games from my childhood I can ever recall being like that when thinking back would be the edutainment style games I had, obviously.

Saving this post in case I ever get a Dreampi or whatever it’s called and can test it. Or in case someone has an answer.

I know Halloween is technically over for pretty much anyone, but I personally really enjoy The Evil Eye and The Hideous Heart by Alan Lee Silva. It’s a string orchestra piece that if I remember correctly is based on The Tell Tale Heart.

KDE Plasma. I am not good with making edits/tweaks to desktop environments and really like how MX has it set up.

Base stat total. I really don’t care too much for all these different acronyms, but I watch a fair bit of pokemon challenge content so I hear it more often than I care for.

Results do vary, but if we’re talking that universal vocal remover, it definitely seems to be a competent enough program.

As a college student, best experience I’ve had is just generating stories that you can easily tell are AI written by use of specific language.

Second best was when I tried taking pokemon from older generations, taking their BST, telling an AI (perplexity) that I wanna give them gen 5 BST, providing a spreadsheet with all gen 5 pokemon w/BST and each individual stat, and using whatever it gives me as a baseline for making BST edits.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t say I’m a big fan of AI since I don’t have many uses for it myself.

From what I’ve seen, it looks good. Can’t play the demo for the 2nd game, but from some of the footage I’ve seen, it looks fun. Thanks for the suggestion.

Vib-Ribbon.

It’s one of the coolest concepts I’ve seen for PSx. It’s a rhythm game that loads into the console’s ram, allowing you to swap the disc to one of your CDs and could generate unique levels for your songs.

While looking it up I did find there was a PS3 port, but I don’t know how good that is or if it has the same custom level feature or not. I’d love a modern version that looks visually similar but allows you to either input a playlist from a service like yt or use your own local files to generate unique levels.

The day AI becomes a better teacher in general than a human, not just for single student experiences but for a while class of people with individual preferences and needs, is the day Hell freezes over.

I might.
